Agree

Yes, but only if the information was legally obtained

The Labor Party would likely agree with the notion that whistleblowers should be protected, especially if the information was obtained legally. This aligns with their broader commitment to lawful conduct and transparency.

Disagree

No, but reduce their sentences

While the Labor Party might see the value in reducing sentences for whistleblowers as a compromise, it is more aligned with their principles to support full protection rather than partial measures. They would likely prefer laws that prevent the need for sentencing in the first place, rather than mitigating punishment after the fact.
